Hey Turkey!

Thanksgiving can get a bad rap sometimes from dieters. All those tempting treats on one table, right? But really the star of the show is a wonderful source of lean protein! You know who I'm talking about.....THE TURKEY! So before you dive head first into the mashed potatoes, stuffing, cornbread, cranberry sauce, etc. fill that plate up with turkey. And you know there's going to be leftovers, so keep choosing that turkey to add to your soups, salads, or sandwiches to add a power punch of protein to get you through your day.

Not sure where to start when it comes to all those Thanksgiving leftovers? Try this wonderful soup that will keep you deliciously satisfied!
